No one was hurt after an attempt at parking gone wrong led to a car striking the front steps of the Rehoboth Beach Post Office.

Ronald Ferrell, 82, of Rehoboth Beach, was trying to park in front of the office on Rehoboth Avenue at around 10 a.m. Friday, police said. To park in front of the office, just east of Second Street, one must pull into designated spots still on Rehoboth Avenue.

Officials say instead of pressing the brake in his red Lincoln MKZ, he pressed the accelerator. That led him to drive over the curb, onto the sidewalk and into a bench and a sign before stopping against the railing of the front steps of the building, police said.

No people were hurt, but the car, the sign and the bench were not so lucky. All three were damaged, according to a news release.
